It costs about $100 to fix and repaint a wheel, but since yours is chrome it will have to be redipped. I am guessing a little under $200 all said and done. Try finding a replacement on eBay.

Not to be rude or mean next time run that da*, squirrel down, havent you seen the new Geico commercial where they nearly cause a wreck and then they give each other a high five? thats messed up.


time in, that scratch is going to cost you a bit over a $100 and also depends how bad it is.

Sorry to hear that, man. I think the only thing you can do is live with it. I felt the same way when I got my new 18's. Somebody who scraped the side of my car also scratched up my rear-left rim, because the surface area of the rim is so big. It's the only one that has any scratches, but still, it's not the end of the world. If it really bothers you then replace the one rim and use the scratched one as a spare tire. Costly, but when something bothers a person enough it's better to pull the trigger and let go of the coyne.

I remember reading in a safe driving book were it tells you to run an animal over if you have no other way out to prevent injury to others or yourself.
